In addition to high-quality products and excellent ecology, migrants also note the following among the main advantages of living in Switzerland:
High salaries. The level of pay here is even higher than in the US – the average earnings are 6-7 thousand dollars per month.
Almost zero crime – the Swiss strictly observe the laws, and the high standard of living provides no reason for robberies or murders.
Medicine that cures everything, or almost everything.
Education – a Swiss diploma opens up opportunities for decent earnings worldwide.
But in such seemingly 'paradisiacal' living conditions, drawbacks were still found. About exorbitantly high prices for everything imaginable, the rejection of Russian emigrants, and other disadvantages of life in Switzerland can be read in more detail on the website Migrantu Mir.
For example, food prices. While locals with their salaries take them in stride, tourists in the first days of traveling in Switzerland cannot hide their surprise. However, food prices are only half the trouble. The real issue is the cost of real estate – even in small Swiss provinces, only very wealthy people can afford to buy it.
At the same time, it is quite possible to earn a comfortable living in Switzerland. The minimum wage for unskilled workers here is 2,200 Swiss francs, while workers with education earn two to three times more. Plus, social benefits – they are also decent here. Losing a job or going on maternity leave is not scary here. Read more about average salaries on Migrantu Mir.
Switzerland treats the standard of living of pensioners with particular reverence. Here they are rightfully considered the most well-off segment of society. They calmly buy good products, drive expensive foreign cars, and travel around the world.
The pension system in Switzerland consists of three levels:
Old-age insurance: upon reaching 65 years for men and 63 years for women.
Occupational insurance: the contributions made by the employer for the employee. A pensioner who has worked a certain period receives 60% of their salary.
Savings in private funds and investments: payments that a person took care of themselves during their working years. Can reach millions of dollars per month.
Overall, life in this alpine country is expensive, but definitely worth it. A Swiss citizen will never be left to the mercy of fate, and with local education and employment, most of the world's benefits are available to them.
